Adoption
Adoption is one of the most wonderful and rewarding aspects of family law. While the path to adoption can be arduous and complex, the reward is unparalleled. Kellner Green takes great satisfaction in helping our clients expand their families.
When you pursue an adoption to grow your family, it is important that the attorney you choose is knowledgeable and highly experienced in adoption. Adoptions are strictly scrutinized, and it is imperative that there is complete compliance with all legal requirements to ensure the adoption is binding. Kellner Green can help you understand your options, the applicable adoption laws, and the necessary steps to ensure that your adoption is efficiently and effectively completed.
Kellner Green provides detail-oriented assistance to clients pursuing relative adoption, stepparent adoption, grandparent adoption, and adult adoption. This process can be complicated when the biological parent(s) are living. When a parent is living, they may agree to voluntarily terminate their parental rights so that an adoption may proceed. On the other hand, the biological parent may refuse to terminate their rights, or they may be unable to consent due to unavailability, substance misuse, or other extenuating circumstance. Our attorneys can assist in determining whether there is a valid basis to seek an involuntary termination of rights so that the adoption can proceed.
